Hyperthyroidism  is a disease caused by the thyroid gland secreting too much thyroid hormone. Excessive secretion of this hormone causes the body’s metabolism to speed up, causing a series of symptoms and health problems.

Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include weight loss, heart palpitations, anxiety, increased sweating, hand tremors, insomnia, and menstrual irregularities. People may feel energetic, but their bodies are actually experiencing excessive stress. Hyperthyroidism can also cause bulging eyes (exophthalmos), which is particularly common in people with Graves’ disease.

Hyperthyroidism can be caused by a variety of factors, the most common of which is Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to become overactive. In addition, thyroid nodules, thyroiditis, etc. may also cause hyperthyroidism.

Diagnosing hyperthyroidism usually requires blood tests to measure thyroid hormone levels and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. Treatments include medication, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery. Medication usually uses antithyroid drugs to suppress thyroid hormone production, while radioactive iodine therapy reduces hormone levels by destroying overactive thyroid cells.

In short, hyperthyroidism is a disease that needs to be taken seriously. Timely diagnosis and treatment can effectively control the condition and improve the patient’s quality of life. If you suspect that you may have hyperthyroidism, it is recommended to seek professional medical examination and treatment as soon as possible.
